6700k stock, low scores in some benches (no throttling)!

Hi guys, recently I upgraded my system to :

Z170x-UD3

6700k

16gb DDR4 2800 gskill

Nox hummer PSU 750W semi modular

For some reason, I have an extremely low result when performing the aida 64 cache test (even using the XMP to 2800mhz and FCLK at 1Ghz) in comparsion with other people I saw in the net: (CPU is at stock speed of 4Ghz)

Also, other tests like FPU VP8, seem to give me more or less consistently lower scores than what Aida indicates for an identical system (even when that system has lower clocked ram of 2133):

FPU VP8:

Aida equivalent system (z170x-ud3+6700k+2133 ram) = 7521

My system (XMP 2800 ram) = over 7300

WTH?¿?¿?

This is not always happening but only 1 out of 5/6 runs gives me the same or slightly over the score I should get according to Aida.

Also, in Futuremark "clouds gate" physics test, I consistently get over 9100/8900 points no matter what I do, when most systems with 6700k at stock can easily get 9500+

No other apps running in the background when doing test, and power options in windows are set at max performance/balanced (tested with both with same result). Also, not thermal trhottling nor any kind of downclocking, CPU maintain 4ghz all the time (max temps over 59/60º).

In Fire Strike I get over 12500/12700 which I think is correct as well as XTU bench, which gives me 1275 points.

I recently ran the passmark cpu tests on my cpu, all scores look normal for my overclock except my prime numbers(comes in at 29.2) and my physics(comes in at 684), anyone have any idea what could be the problem or have ever noticed anything like this? I've also noticed my 3dmark11 physics test ar...

I've just rebuilt my system after jumping to Skylake and I'm getting worse performance than I did with X58/980X.The GPUs are oc'd to the same as they were in the old rig but I'm getting HALF the score on Firestrike than I did on the old build. Same in Valley too. I've checked Afterburner ...

I mostly game and game performance is all I care about.- Would it be worth it to upgrade 3770K @ 4.8Ghz to Skylake 6700K? Please take OC into consideration. Obviously, 3770K @ 4.8Ghz would not be worth replacing for stock-clocked non-overclockable 6700K.- What is the average OC for Skylake 67...

Hey guys,For the last year my 8350 will throttle to 3.4GHz in p95 no matter what speed it's running at. I use a gigabyte ud5 but I know for a fact that it's not the motherboard because the same thing was happening on my previous 2 boards that died due to watercooling leaks(dumb, I know) (UD3 an...

Hey guys! I did it. Honestly it wasn't hard. I had a previous install of windows 7 ultimate that I had installed my 8970m and 780m with and I just kept that OS and installed the 970m. It booted right up and I installed 344.75 drivers with a modified .inf with no issue. I ran benches and immediate...

I've been playing around with my A10 5800K and trying to maximize the IGP's capabilities. I've been using 3Dmark11 along the way to track how much of boost I am getting in performance, but I seem to have hit a wall. Very first thing I tried was overclocking my memory, and that has gone fanta...

Hey guys - just wanted to bounce this off a few people as I've been working on this as of late and am a bit stumped at the moment. Ive been playing with some over volted vbios for my 7970m lately which has been a lot of fun, and the results have been impressive. My true stock vbios has ...
